		<description><![CDATA[Isn&#039;t it interesting that prior to the 1967 Arab-Israeli war, there was no serious movement for a Palestinian homeland? 

Well, you might say, &quot;that was before the Israelis seized the West Bank and Old Jerusalem.&quot; 

That&#039;s true. In the Six-Day War, Israel captured Judea, Samaria and East Jerusalem. 

But they didn&#039;t capture these territories from Yasser Arafat and the Palestinians.... 

They captured them from Jordan&#039;s King Hussein. 

And Jordan STILL Occupies 80% of the original land mandated to the &quot;Palestinians&quot;

I can&#039;t help but wonder why all these Palestinians suddenly discovered their national identity after Israel won the war. 

IT’S NOT “OCCUPIED” PALESTINE

We keep hearing this term over and over again. “Occupied Palestine.” Every time you hear some spokesman for the Palestinian “cause,” (which is, of course, the complete and utter destruction of Israel) on any television news program you will hear the term “occupied Palestine” over an over again. So … it’s time to set the record straight here.

There is no “occupied Palestine.” You see, in order for a country to be “occupied” it is somewhat necessary for that country to first exist. Palestine doesn’t exist. There is no country of Palestine, therefore there can be no “occupied” Palestine.

Oh yes! The so-called “Palestinians” had their chance all right. Back after World War II the United Nations came up with an idea to set aside this plot of land over here for Israel, and that plot of land over their for Palestinians. The Israelis said fine, and Israel became a honest-to-goodness country. The Palestinians, though, weren’t happy with the arrangement. The part of the arrangement Palestinians weren’t happy with was the Israel part. They wanted all of that land that was partitioned into Israel. If they accepted the UN partitioning they would be stuck with those pesky Israeli neighbors. So --- they said no to the United Nations offer and decided that they were going to strike out on their own … strike out at Israel.


Bottom line? There is no Palestine. They had their shot … they said no. They wanted it all. So … no Palestine, no “occupied” Palestine.

		<description><![CDATA[
Israel a tiny country that occupies less than 1% of the middle east...the only Democracy in the mid-east who just wants to live in peace is surrounded by rabid Jew Haters.
Israel has been constantly attacked since it was created........

The so-called Palestinians had a homeland......just like Israel....they were given a homeland.....but instead of creating a real country they decided that they needed to attack Israel instead, they wanted the land that Israel had too.

		<description><![CDATA[They forget, but we remember.

In 1947 the United Nations voted to create two states between the Jordan and the Mediterranean: One, the Jewish state of Israel. The other, a homeland for Palestinian Arabs. The Zionist leadership, the acting government of the Yishuv, accepted the plan. In 1947, we affirmed our desire to live in peace, side by side with a Palestinian State. 

But the armies of nine Arab states came pouring over the borders, to extinguish the nascent state of Israel and to murder yet another million Jews.

When a truce came, the territory for the Palestinian Arab State had been devoured by Egypt and Jordan and Syria.
And Jordan STILL occupies 80% of the original Palestian state


They forget, but we remember that thousands of Palestinian Arabs fled in the face of that Arab invasion. But when they reached the borders of Jordan and Egypt, they were not permitted to enter. Israel, tiny beleaguered Israel managed to absorb and settle millions of Jewish refugees from Europe and the Middle East. 
But the entire Arab League and all 26 Muslim nations, with all their oil-wealth, couldn&#039;t find room for their poor Palestinian brothers and sisters -- and left them to rot in squalid refugee camps, festering in hatred and rage. 

Why was there an Israel-Gaza war in the first place? Resistance to the occupation, say Hamas and many in the international media.

What occupation? Seven years ago, in front of the world, Israel pulled out of Gaza. It dismantled every settlement, withdrew every soldier, evacuated every Jew, leaving nothing and no one behind. Except for the greenhouses in which the settlers had grown fruit and flowers for export. These were left intact to help Gaza’s economy — only to be trashed when the Palestinians took over.

Israel then declared its border with Gaza to be an international frontier, meaning that it renounced any claim to the territory and considered it an independent entity. 

In effect, Israel had created the first Palestinian state ever, something never granted by fellow Muslims — neither the Ottoman Turks nor the Egyptians who brutally occupied Gaza for two decades before being driven out by Israel in the 1967 Six-Day War. 

Israel wanted nothing more than to live in peace with this independent Palestinian entity. After all, the world had incessantly demanded that Israel give up land for peace. 

It gave the land. It got no peace.
The Gaza Palestinians did not reciprocate. They voted in Hamas, who then took over in a military putsch and turned the newly freed Palestine into an armed camp from which to war against Israel. It has been war ever since.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Follow the money.. Saudi Arabia is pouring millions upon millions of dollars into our universities to buy sway over thinking coming out of our universities as they are also funding extremist mosques all over the world. This is an attempt to bolster the recently awakened to the modern world, bruised egos of muslims who are told they are our betters and who see how far behind they are. Same as the foundational thinking of the jihadists. The fall of the ottoman empire dismembered them and wounded their supremacist mindset.


This movement is purely an attempt to destroy Israel;  the country at the top of the list for embarrassing them by its formation. Get the world together to discount Israel&#039;s outstanding academic achievements (vs the negligible muslim ones), a push for total muslim takeover of Israel by demographics, the validation of insult to muslim sensibilities because of their lack of control, and most especially the inability to usurp jewish foundations as the original believers in a single godhead without muslim replacement of jews in jerusalem to validate islam&#039;s supremacy over all other religions. These are underlying every disturbing activity on all fronts around the world.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think what&#039;s ALSO going on is the left&#039;s refusal to face facts about the origins of ANY country. First, leftists often hate nation states and think they&#039;re ALL illegitimate in one way or another. They also especially hate the origins of nation states because they are often born through warfare. Therefore, for the left&#039;s &quot;tender&quot; sensibilities, the beginnings of ALL nation states are obscene - because some things happen which are less than perfect which they can&#039;t abide.  

As far as Israel goes, as the author points out, the Jews are one of the indigenous peoples of the middle east. Therefore, the Jews have much more of a right to live in Israel than many of the peoples who currently live in the lands they inhabit. 

The reason why this is so is because - after being defeated by the Romans in the year 70, many Jews fled to or were forcibly taken to other lands. Jewish sovereignty over the ancient land of Israel was wrested from them by the Romans. But it must ALSO be remembered that some Jews NEVER left Israel even after the Roman conquest.  Somehow, they carried on in Israel and ALWAYS lived there - all through the past two thousand years. Also, through the centuries, various Jewish communities that were expelled by the Romans sometimes made their way back to Israel invigorating the Jewish presence  there.  For the expelled Jews who found it impossible to come back, some survived and continued in Jewish communities in lands throughout Europe and the middle east but they often found no peace from the natives in these lands.

So, finally, after the ENORMOUS persecutions of the 20th century, the survivors of the Jews who had ended up in foreign lands finally got it together enough to want to repatriate with the one land in the world in which they thought they had a chance of surviving. So they decided to join the existing Jewish community in Israel. Once there, they got it together enough to defeat the British who were then ruling (and who had issued the infamous &quot;White Paper&quot; effectively leaving the European Jews in the hands of the Nazis). The Jews then they declared Israel their own national, soveriegn land. Yes, the Jews had had enough - a massive holocaust in Europe (which numerically the Jews still haven&#039;t recovered from) and horrific pogroms in the middle east.  The Jews had tried in a million ways to co-exist or assimilate within these lands but ultimately failed - and NO people in the world is going to commit collective suicide! 

Unfortunately for Israel, though, the new nation state they declared in 1948, was and is still viewed by the world as a &quot;new comer&quot;. And as mentioned before, the left hates nation states and they hate their origins as they assume that every one of them is illegitimate (often including their own countries). It should be noted, however, that there were also other nations declared in the 20th century, too and, as stated, although the left hates nation states and their origins, they never obsess on these other  new nations - just Israel. So, I just can&#039;t shake off the feeling, like the author of this piece, that this obsessive focusing on Israel is nothing more than good, old fashioned antisemitism.

But getting back to 1948 and to try, again, to try and enlighten these &quot;sensitive&quot; leftists, the Jews INVITED the Arabs who already lived in Israel to STAY with them. That was nice of them because MANY of these Arabs had not lived in Israel for long - but were recent immigrants from surrounding countries who had traveled to Israel because of the economic opportunities offered to them by Jewish businesses. For the Jews in 1948, the new Israel would be a multi-ethnic and multi- religious nation. Would the Arabs accept this?  No, they did not!  Collectively, they refused and have launched a war on the Jewish population in one way or another ever since! 

In conclusion, for the sake of the &quot;sensitive&quot; boycotters and leftists, I personally think that the Jewish Israelis were and have been much &quot;nicer&quot; to the warring Arabs than any other nation would have been. As a matter of fact, no one likes to remember the fact that the entire country of Jordan was supposed to be part of Israel, too. The Jews gave it to the Arabs for the sake of peace and still got only war. If we, in the other nations, signal out Israel, we are as hypocritical as the boycotters are - as our own nations and our own ancestors who carved them out - were probably a lot less &quot;nice&quot; than the Israeli Jews!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yousef,

Islamofascism and Islam are the same. Islamofascism is the terrorist arm of Islams.  Islams precepts ( I.e. Force the world to submit). Islamofascism is ugly, war-oriented, brutal.
Islamofascism denigrates All Humanity in its pursuit of waging jihad and its illegal taking of Infidel
 land.



We remember 9/11.  Do you?]]></description>
